What to Expect at a Utah Board of Pardons and Parole Hearing

This informative, yet in some ways disturbing, video shows what can be expected when an inmate appears before the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole while incarcerated at a Utah Sate Prison.

The Board looks at the entire case, from its inception and including the crime, and is looking for an inmate that accepts responsibility, has avoided getting into trouble while imprisoned, and has taken steps to improve their situation including any classes or schooling they have attended while incarcerated. It is also important for the prisoner to have a specific plan on what they intend to do with their life when released.
